Strange gift for injury

So a good friend of mine, who happens to also be my boss, walked in to my living room last night with a splint on his ring finger. He has a rare gift for strange injury. Apparently he was playing basketball and kept asking the other players to check the ball because something was wrong with it - the leather had ripped or it was deformed or something. After asking a couple different times, Daniel looked at his hand and realized his finger was dangling limp and he couldn't move it. The ball was fine. His hand wasn't.

Trade you a cheap plastic splint for your wedding ring?

Daniel goes in soon to have his finger looked at but talking with his MD Dad it sounds bad. Potentially the kind of injury there is no treatment for. The live with it kind. There may be new treatments out there but from what his Dad knows, if it is what he thinks it is, there's not much hope for surgery or therapy to fix it.

Being in full time ministry, Daniel uses his fingers a lot writing and typing and all. Having a bum finger is more than just an annoyance for him. It's a career impediment. I believe Jesus is in the business of healing people. Would you pray with me that Jesus would heal Daniel's finger? Thanks.

Thanks for praying. Daniel goes in tomorrow (Tuesday) to see the surgeon about what can really be done.
